“Rainbow Six Siege,” the next installment in the first-person Tom Clancy shooter is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

A release is expected in 2015.

The game was inspired by counter-terrorist operations across the world, according to developer Ubisoft Montreal. Players will engage in close-quarters combat, tactics, team play and action. They can fortify their surroundings — reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire, deploying shields and using mines.

Observation drones, sheet charges and rappelling are just a few of the options for breaching enemy territory.

Thanks to the game’s new mechanical engine, environments are realistic and dynamic. Walls can be shattered to open new lines of fire, and ceilings and floors can be breached to allow escape or access.

“As fans of Tom Clancy’s ‘Rainbow Six’ and tactical shooters in general, we set out to create the game we always wanted to play within the counter-terrorism universe. We asked ourselves ‘how could we capture the incredible tension and unique tactics of these confrontations?’ We found the answer in the Siege gameplay and procedural destruction,” said Xavier Marquis, creative director at Ubisoft, in a statement. “Tom Clancy’s ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ is the game that Tom Clancy’s ‘Rainbow Six’ fans have been waiting for, and first-person shooter players will be drawn to its unique gameplay.“
